Aguero ruins Sarri’s Chelsea bow as Manchester City win Community Shield
Sergio Aguero spoiled Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri's first taste of English football as the Argentine's double gave Manchester City a stylish 2-0 victory in the Community Shield on Sunday (Aug 5). Manchester City players celebrate their victory on the pitch after the English FA Community Shield football match against Chelsea at Wembley Stadium. (Glyn KIRK/AFP) Blues boss Sarri, hired to replace the sacked Antonio Conte last month, endured a miserable debut in the prestigious friendly at Wembley as lacklustre Chelsea were swept aside by Premier League champions City. Picking up where they left off in their record-breaking campaign last term, Pep Guardiola's team took an early lead through Aguero, who rewarded City's dominance with a second goal after the break. The last side to win the Community Shield and then go on to clinch the Premier League title were Manchester United in 2010-11. On this evidence, City could follow in their arch rivals' footsteps at the end of the … [Read more...] about Aguero ruins Sarri’s Chelsea bow as Manchester City win Community Shield

Southampton's Dutch defender Wesley Hoedt (centre) heads the ball during the English Premier League football match between Southampton and Manchester City. (Glyn KIRK/AFP) Pep Guardiola's side have been focused on rewriting the record books since clinching the English title almost a month ago and they added one last landmark achievement on the final day of the season.
